San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 28, 2012

San Francisco wholesale electrical distributor, Maltby Electric Supply, providing the finest quality electric supplies and solar supplies in San Francisco, was recently commissioned by Sun City for the D6 Area LED Retrofit Kit for an outdoor area lighting project. Together with Sylvania Lighting Services (SLS), Maltby helped determine and deploy an innovative and efficient lighting solution.

“Maltby Electric Supply was involved in this project as we sold all the material. We received a request from Sun City to provide a quote on the project and partnered with Sylvania Lighting Services (SLS) to provide a turnkey package. With our companies partnered together, we were able to show a proposal that was not only energy efficient but cost effective,” Rodney Jason, vice president of Maltby Electric Supply, said.

After auditing the area for light levels, energy use, occupancy, light trespass and more, Sun City, along with SLS and Maltby, established that LED lighting had the most viable return on investment and was the best technology that met the community’s goals.

The team further concluded that a retrofit product would be the most appropriate, allowing Sun City to retain their existing fixtures, while reducing their lighting maintenance needs. SLS installed the Sylvania D6 Area LED Retrofit Kit for outdoor area lighting in 2,015 community fixtures. The kit is an LED lighting system that is a more efficient alternative to conventional light sources, like HID lamps, traditionally used in street and area lighting.

As one of the largest LED retrofit projects in the country at this time, Maltby Electric is proud to have been an integral part of the entire sales process for the project, from specification to savings calculation. With its vast sales experience and manufacturing partners, Maltby was not only able to improve the lighting conditions to an energy-efficient source but also helped to complete an environmentally friendly project.

Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) April 05, 2012

Power Practical, a Salt Lake City start-up, has developed a game-changer for off-grid living and recreation. Simply put, The PowerPot transforms heat from a fire into electricity. This new take on a lightweight backpacking pot will provide electricity anywhere, anytime, using any fuel, such as propane, gas, or open wood fires.

The PowerPot uses thermoelectric power, originally developed to power satellites, to generate electricity. Like solar power, thermoelectric generators operate with no moving parts, but they are powered by heat instead of light. This means the PowerPot is not dependent on sunlight and will work in any weather, at night, and indoors. All the PowerPot needs to generate power is heat and water.

The PowerPot has a USB output and is currently available in two sizes, both of which were launched April 4th on the crowdsourcing site Kickstarter. The PowerPot V is a backpacking model that produces up to 5W of electricity and weighs less than a pound. This model will fully charge everyday handheld devices such as cell phones and mp3 players in 60-90 minutes. The PowerPot X is a larger model, the size and weight of a typical kitchen cooking pot, with a 10W output. The PowerPot X can charge more power-hungry devices like tablets. Supporters through kickstarter can order a PowerPot for themselves for $ 125, donate one to Africa for $ 99 or both for $ 199.

?There are over 200 million people in Africa that use cell phones but lack access to electricity. Some must walk over a mile and spend over 15% of their monthly income just to charge their phone,? said Power Practical CFO Caleb Light. ?It is difficult to keep in touch with loved ones or do business off-grid. Since most people faced with this problem cook on an open fire, the PowerPot fits perfectly into their routine.?

PowerPot is a useful solution for recreation and emergency preparedness. Backpackers can replace a typical backpacking mess-kit and charge GPS units, headlamps, water purifiers, and cell phones. Many will find it useful as a just-in-case measure for power outages. Those equipped with propane stoves, wood stoves, or fire pits will be able to turn on a dead phone within minutes using the PowerPot.

Amy and Terry Ruff are missionaries in Ghana, Africa. They are using GNPI’s Solar Kits as they train local leaders to plant churches in their own villages. A video curriculum is a part of their teaching strategy, and because the Solar Kits can easily go into very remote areas that lack electricity, they have become an important component of the training.

WINDENERGY7.com – - Solar Power and Solar Kits are available at our site. Solar Power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or Solar Power. Photovoltaics were initially used to power small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to off-grid homes powered by a photovoltaic solar power array. A significant problem with solar power is installation cost. Small solar power applications are now replacing other sources in the developing world. Solar Power for Sale and Solar Panel Cost for Solar Installation are available from WindEnergy7 LLC. We are an Ohio based company shipping Solar Power worldwide. We sell complete engineered systems to ensure customers success in their installation and operation. Our systems provide energy security, emergency power, and we can run anything, any size, anywhere, with or without the grid power. Our customers can run their meters backward selling excess power to the utility. Solar Power are used extensively in the country where there is no grid energy available. These systems are called Off-Grid solar panel systems. This requires the use of batteries to store the energy for use at night or on long stretches of overcast weather. The energy stored in the batteries leaves the batteries as DC electricity then converted to alternating current (AC) for use with conventional appliances. Much like running your own mini
